Hi all, just a quick update. We got back last night from a week in Chicago and NYC for D’s final MT auditions.

Of course, this is our second time in two years to go through the audition process, and I got to have a long leisurely dinner with my first while we were in Chicago. Just seeing him in his element, thriving and happy (his Econ grade could be better, but we won’t talk about that) was such a pleasure. He is SOOOO busy doing all the music things - exhausted and happy about it.

It made this final whirlwind week with D so much more enjoyable. She went in and gave it her all in a far more competitive area than S (MT is insane y’all. Truly). I helped where I could. We had fun, saw some shows, and slept late some, too. And in the next month or so we will find out where she’s going to end up. And it will be fine. She will land somewhere - maybe her top choice, maybe not - and she will figure out a way to do the things that bring her joy.

And so will your kids. I hope you all find a few moments just to take it all in and enjoy this precious time you have with your kids. You’ve raised amazing kids - don’t forget to enjoy i!

Best of luck to everyone!
